Good day, all charts fans.

 

In January 1989 all compilation albums were excluded from the main album chart.

 

Which albums could be # 1 in United Kingdom, if all compilations were excluded before 1989 and albums chart rules were the same with 2013?

 

Let's start in 1970.

 

 

 

 

Excluded # 1 : 14.01.1970 : Various Artists - Motown Chartbusters Volume 3 (1 week # 1)

I've always wondered this too actually, so thanks for making this thread. Perhaps it would be better if you added the album which would have been number one after posting the excluded compilation.

Every No.1 album in 1971 had become a real CLASSIC! Look at that list!

Can't judge Andy Williams, but every other album may easily enter the Top 50 All-time Greats! And three ex-Beatles were on the list.

Did anyone collect those Top of the Pops albums?

I sheepishly admit that I used to buy some of them but haven't got them now.
